PETALING JAYA: It was chaotic for some schools as secondary students returned in full force.
Crowd control, parents said, was a major issue.
The downpour led to jams outside several schools as students waited for their transport to go home.
Melaka Action Group for Parents in Education chairman Mak Chee Kin said while students and teachers attempted to comply with the standard operating procedure, the situation was less than ideal in some schools.
Controlling the large volume of students at the end of the school day was poor, he said.
“Parents informed me that some schools did not allow them to enter the compound, so many of them gathered outside the gate.
